1 merge alg needs to check for cyclic dependencies
3 when creating needs to remove metadata, make a separate commit with no
4 metadata to allow us to spot what's happening. should only do this
5 with option to permit it! Also need to do this when merging.
8 what about strangeness in ancient history wrt merge alg
10 topbloke {base,tip} is ff desc of topgit {base,tip}
11 with metadata adjusted
12 topbloke branch has all the deps of the topgit
13 branch (topgit branches mapped into topbloke
14 branches) plus the topgit branch itself named in
16 reject topbloke imports of topgit branches which
17 also contain topbloke metadata
18 need patch name in metadata
19 patch dep metadata syntax unsatisfactory: too twiddly
20 flags metadata unsatisfactory: wants to be valued properties
22 "checkout" shouldn't do any updates but also want
23 "goto" or "push" or "pop" or something which does do updates
24 (at least, the relevant ones)
26 topbloke series file under .git records current leaf
28 create creates leaf and thus series ?
29 insert patch operation to create new patch under this one
30 append patch operation to create new patch above this one
31 which is inserted into all clients' deps
33 what about ops which update multiple refs - atomicity ?
34 think about this later but for now abstract away commit and
37 also would like some kind of --ff-only update ?
